eh it's not that bad of an age gap, it still passes the half +7 rule halfway... depending on their birthdays. I'm 33 and i shit you not i look like i'm 19.... so, eh.
Imo the older you get the less of a deal an age gap becomes, and it's important that both partners are on the same "level". So for instance a 25 year old dating a 37 year old is fine (if they understand each other, which could potentially be another hurdle) since they're both likely out of school and working. But rewind 5 years and it could be a bit sus because the younger partner, in this case the girl, would still be in school and there could be a power imbalance and potential for manipulation through finances and status. This is also why I personally wouldn't enter into a "homemaker + breadwinner" type of arrangement, I absolutely do not judge people who do and I wish them all the luck and happiness in the world, but there's just a lot of room for manipulation or even abuse when one partner is so much more dependant on the other. Idk maybe I'm just paranoid and distrustful lol.
